  1. The comment I have heard from people who know more football than I do is this: That was an option route, meaning that it comes down to split second decision making from the QB and WR. However, part of Gabe Davis' job in that role is to realize that the Eagles are in Cover 0. They are coming in an all out blitz. Once he beats his man, he has to know that no one is ahead of him to clean up. Even if he and Josh aren't on the same page the moment that the ball is loose, if Davis turns and looks when he beats his man (as he is supposed to) with the touch Josh put on that he has the time to work back and make a play. You can argue the wisdom of trusting Davis in such a spot, but that is a big execution flaw when the coverage was so beat.
  2. I know that we are rightfully Doom and Gloom today, but I want to give a tip of the cap to Joe Brady. He did a darned good job planning and calling for the game. 500 yards of offense, 4 TD with 2 field goals missed. Josh looks day and night better. While I want to see if DCs catch on in the rest of the season, so far this is the lone bright spot in my mind. That we hung around with Dorsey for so long with things not working is reason enough for me to say the McDermott era needs to wrap up, and it is paradoxical that keeping McDermott is our best chance at keeping Brady.
  3. That's insane. They have too many concussions if they actually believe that. They even point out that intentional grounding was worse than the sack and fumble recovery. it makes no sense if you think about it for two seconds.
  4. I love the optimism. And it's possible. KC is looking beatable. The Eagles, Chiefs, Cowboys was always "realistically two out of three". Brady has Josh on fire again. But there are still lingering issues even if we do and make a run
  5. Look, it absolutely can get worse. But this one hurts.
  6. Davis is a free agent. Let him go. He was a nice #4 piece who is exposed as a #2
  7. I want to give Brady a legitimate shot. My only worry about making him HC is that's a ton to throw on the guy who was the QB coach 2 weeks ago. It's hard to gripe when the offense put up 500 yards, 34 points and Allen looks like his old self. If he can adapt through the end of year I would like to see what he can do with a full off-season to install. Right now that is literally the only the only justification I can think of to run it back next year
  8. How good Brady has looked as a playcaller in the last two games is the only compelling reason I can think of to give this coaching staff another shot. The Eagles D is also pretty dang good and the Bills put up 31 in regulation in the pouring rain with the refs screwing them over. It's a severe indictment that it took this long to hand over duties from Dorsey
  9. Who is ready to hand the team over to Joe Brady? Because I can't fault him too much But seriously, can we check those refs bank accounts?
  10. Nooooooo defensive time out
  11. No block in the back on that one
  12. Did we run on every play that drive?
  13. Wait did the Bills get a turnover and use it to get 7 points on offense? Are we allowed to do that?
  14. Honestly it's the opposite for me. The Eagles have a quick strike offense with Brown and Smith. Hurts isn't a noodle arm but he doesn't have a cannon like Josh This is probably a jinx but I want as much variance as possible
  15. Harty for Lane Johnson. I'll happily take that of surprise inactives. I'm really hoping this is a game we can steal: chilly, drizzly weather, short week for the Eagles, a week spot on their right side O-line (no Goedurt or Johnson)
  16. Personally disagree. Not just because I'm married to one. I muuuuuch prefer my contempt to Boston and NY fans
  17. Just about to ask about that. He's one of the better RTs in the league it would be big if he's out
  18. And they are always taking my red stapler!!! Now, my actual manager doesn't particularly care, but if someone puts in an official complaint he has to show action. We are quality control, so everyone looks for any deviations for protocol every time we catch them red handed, so he has reasonably asked me not to offer an low hanging fruit.
  19. I could but I have a massive narc who sits next to me. Forum posting is one thing, I but get complaints if I have my headphones in and listen to music on my phone.
  20. I believe we need to consult the Geneva convention
  21. I'm not saying it's a slight against me. But on Thanksgiving they spread the games out and it's in theory a federal holiday. Normal work day for me. No, private company. They have a peak rush and the owner so personally believes in people working Black Friday that he requires people to take the entire week off if they want BF off and get holiday pay. My wife works at a general practice office, and if anything things are busier than a normal Friday because more people have time off and they need someone to man the fort.
  22. I mean, obviously he's better than what we are seeing now, but I never thought for the minute the "return from an Achilles within a year" had a chance. I don't doubt he will try to make a comeback because his ego won't allow it and his contract means the Jets don't dare move on. The only question is can he actually throw with power. I still am unsure if he would be ready at the season opener.
  23. Sitting at my work desk, I have to wonder the logic of putting a game on Black Friday at 3 pm
